Conditions
Any snow or ice had receded everywhere by today's observations, and walking the path was not significantly affected by snow or ice anywhere. One small patch of snow was seen on the path below Bwlch Glas on the PyG and miners' paths, but this snow was easily avoidable. There was also a very small amount of icy rime on surfaces close to the summit after low temperatures overnight, but again this did not create any difficulty in walking the path.

A rainy, windy, cloudy and foggy day.

Essential equipment
Suitable seasonal walking equipment, including lighting (such as a headtorch or two each).

Carrying an ice axe and some sort of spikes for the feet will offer safer options on the mountain. A need for such equipment is less likely before Friday, but wintry conditions may develop Thursday night into Friday (see Additional Information below). Carrying microspikes just in case could also be beneficial  before this, with the possibility of the temperature being below freezing at times.

Additional Information
On the Tuesday of the report the forecast suggests that the temperature on the summit will be close to, or above freezing to begin with, but will drop several degrees below freezing on Thursday night and into Friday. The temperature at the summit is forecast to be as low as -4ºC (feeling like it is as low as -14ºC at times).

With a forecast of precipitation as temperatures drop on Thursday night, some snow is possible higher up on the mountain on Thursday night and Friday morning.

This means that more wintry conditions are likely to develop from Thursday night to Friday morning, with icy conditions likely higher on the mountain, and possibly across wider areas of the mountain, and some snow also possible. Any wintry conditions are less likely before this, but although somewhat marginal there is some possibility of icy conditions higher up on the mountain on Wednesday morning.

There is also a forecast for very windy and rainy periods at times in the coming days.

Thanks to Smyrff Jones for today's observations.
